Two robins squabble in a fierce battle over territory. The pair were spotted fighting on path near Anton Lakes in Andover, Hampshire.

Kym Welsh, 45, an administrator and amateur photographer spotted the birds fighting whilst out for a walk. Kym said: “I caught sight of some movement in the corner of my eye and stumbled upon these fighting robins.”

“I had an urge to intervene, however these fights are part of nature so I let them be. In the end a passing runner startled the birds and they both flew away!"
